In Celebration of Women

On the occasion of International Women's Day (celebrated on 8th March), I am sharing a small composition, a tribute to women.

Happy Women's Day - In Celebration of Women

~~~~

She is the one who gives you birth,

She ushers you onto this dear earth.

A towering angel, A protective armor,

She is your dear Mother.

At loss of words to describe her,

She deserves the highest honor.

She may be junior, She may be senior,

Dearest to you, She is your Sister.

She helps you take the steps nimble, 

She prepares you for the long battle.

She teaches you lessons galore,

She is the Teacher you adore.

She is a helping voice,

She helps you relax and rejoice.

In her, your faith you repose,

She is your Friend close.

Wearing multiple hats in a single soul,

She completes you, shares your goals.

She is the companion of your life,

She is your dearest Wife.

She protects you, 

She blesses you.

You succeed under her aegis,

She is a divine Goddess.

~~~~

P.S. Who is She? She is a Woman.

Happy Women's Day

Mysterious Miss

~~~~

Its been a long time,

Where have you been?

Awaiting a word, Missing a chime,

It seems to be a lifetime.

Where is my Miss Regal,

Shining on the runway?

Where did you vanish angel,

I miss you everyday.

Dazzling beyond midnight,

Is the alluring tigress.

A bright ray of sunlight,

Is the charming empress.

You will conquer the world,

Supreme is your glow.

Your dreams will rise and swirl,

You are a numero uno.

Dazzling is the Diva,
Enticing is your Aura.
You are a Prima Donna,
Lustrous Miss, Enamoring Delilah.

Without you, 

My life is amiss.

I adore thou,

Miss Divine Bliss.

May you always be a gal glamorous,

May you hold the world breathless.

Without you, something is amiss,

Come back soon, my Mysterious Miss.

~~~~

P.S. This is for You.

Midnight Poison

She passed by me in a flash. Her eyes caught my attention. Her gait held me in awe. I exclaimed wow, and thought that this would be last I would see me her. 

Destiny had something else in store, as she came and sat right in front of me. Her beauty brought tears in my eyes. Her eyes growled in silence. And fluttered a million feelings as her glance caught me.  

Her smile had already doubled my heart beats. A smile crowned her pretty face as the snow covers the north pole. It was perennial and mystical. 

She was shy yet demure. She was tender yet brash. She was petite, yet classy. 

Eva Green

She seemed lost in the world around her. And I was lost in her thoughts. The book in my hand had lost the race to gain my attention. She had won handsomely. 

She was a polished princess. She was a dearie queen. She was raw and ravishing. She was a soothing siren. She overshadowed everyone around. She cast a spell on me. 

She was glowing. A warm halo surroued her. Her hands held her in warm embrace. How I wished it could be me. In her moments solemn, dreams were her companion. How I wish it could be me. 

Her simplicity and obedience astonished me. She deserved more respect. She deserved supreme respect. She wanted her confidence to be nourished, so that the tender caterpillar that she was could be transformed into a majestic butterfly. 

She had appeared like a flutter of invisible air. And she would disappear into the night, an enamoring angel would become an elusive pimpernel. To be lost forever. 

If I lay awake, her thoughts would occupy me. I thought, It's better to sleep, forgetting her thoughts, rather than defying the laws of nature. 

Fate and fortune have a habit of being quirky. I always wanted to sleep on a beach, under the stars and the moon. 

And tonight, she obliged to be My Star, My Moon. She was my Midnight Poison.

Midnight Poison

Epilogue :- 

I showed her the words of appreciation I had written for her, she narrated the below composition softly in my ears.

~~~~

A carpet of green grass, 

Covers dear earth.

Hidden beneath are treasures many, 

Waiting to be discovered. 

Dig a bit, 

Explore a little.

There is lots on offer, 

Let me show you my mettle. 

You could have won me, 

Made me your very own. 

Wish I could rewind time, 

To make myself your own. 

The moment now has passed, 

Laws of nature binding us mortals.

I an sorry your dreams are dashed,  

In our life next, we could be One. 

~~~~

P.S. This is for a sweet Midnight Poison. And I have already lost her, never ever to meet her again.

Eva Green Midnight Poison

A Phoenix

~~~~

Alone alone far from my world, 

I fly, a clueless bird. 

A gust of wind takes me everywhere, 

Alas I am heading nowhere.  

Lost I am completely, 

Weak are my feathers. 

The purpose of my being,

Is devoid and dubious.

All I want to is sleep, 

And sleep forever. 

My heart does weep, 

And cry forever. 

In the dark night, 

My words give me flight.

In the cold I shiver, 

Many dreams, filling up a quiver. 

The more I stay awake, 

The lost heart feels the ache. 

On the bed, I am sleepless. 

My soul feels utterly hopeless.

I wear a bright mask, 

Behind it is a face stark. 

Tonight seems very dark, 

Without a hint of spark. 

I pray to God Almighty, 

To set me on course. 

In the empty night, 

My mind shouts hoarse. 

What I want, 

I know not, 

My mind is stale, 

In a rot. 

A dagger in my heart, 

And I am killed. 

Would it lie content, 

My psyche unfulfilled?

Having a free fall,

Before it reaches the nadir.

It hopes to rise from the depth, 

My soul, a Phoenix.

~~~~

A Phoenix

P.S. I had written this at 2 in the night, about a month back, as I struggled to sleep.

Pearl Princess

~~~~

Words are less,

Metaphors are few.

To describe a lady,

Precious as You.

A wonderful girl,

Many a dreams you unfurl.

You leave me in a whirl,

Oh my Sparkling Pearl.

~~~~~

P.S. This is for You. A small pearl is supremely exquisite. And I hope these few words extol you, a Pearl Princess.

Revelation

~~~~

The sun will rise today,

The world will see someone new.

You will make a sashay,

Into a universe of a priceless few.

You will sparkle bright,

You shall set many a dreams alight.

Today, tommorow and forever,

You will emerge a victor.

The hearts will miss a beat,

With your smile sweet.

Your beauty will cast a spell,

Aren't you a charming belle.

Blessed by God Almighty,

You will be a lady glitzy.

The world will be your bastion,

You are a divine Revelation.

~~~~

P.S. This is for You. Invaluable discoveries are few and far between. You are more than Invaluable. Simply Priceless!!

All That I Need

She asked me, "What do I need today, tomorrow and forever?"

~~~~

Specks of white, waiting to be colored,

Eager to be erased, dark flecks rife.

All that I have is words,

To solve the crossword of life.

Myriad thoughts, varying themes,

Every night sets them alight.

All that I have is dreams,

To paint a canvas called life.

Miles to go before you sleep,

All that you have is courage deep.

I wish to be your companion forever,

In this life, our endeavor.

Brimming with aspirations much.

Seeking for a finishing touch.

All that you have in me is trust,

I'l gladly oblige, my lady august.

With blessings from God above,

You are my essence.

All that I have is love,

To fulfill our existence.

Lots to do in this journey small,

Keeping me afloat, avoiding my fall.

Someone gives me strength anew,

All that I need is You.

~~~~

All That I Need is You

P.S. Unknown You, Unknown Me.

Another You

Is there Another You?

~~~~

On a day summer, 

Priceless is a drop of dew. 

On a evening winter, 

Precious is a warm word with you. 

A philosopher's stone, 

For life is an elixir. 

In my life alone, 

Don't you bring a cheer.

 For us mere mortals, 

There is only one sun.

From the countless damsels, 

You are a special one. 

A dark day you brighten, 

Your smile is a beacon. 

You are a queen, 

Your aura is pristine.

An ace of spade, 

Of what are you made? 

Less words, more action, 

You don't take the path beaten. 

You kindle dreams anew, 

You color a rainy day blue. 

One thing is certainly true, 

There isn't Another You.

~~~~

There Isn't Another You

P.S. This is for You. Believe me, Your best is yet to come. Because, You will beat your best.

English Rose

Colorful Roses

~~~~

Under the morning sun,

Surrounded by lush greenery.

You glisten, you beckon,

Brighter than a red cherry.

Fragrant is the dark soil,

The earth is in a boil.

Soothing is your aura,

You are the queen of flora.

Decked with petals four,

Your beauty I adore.

Magical is your aroma,

Dazzling in fuchsia.

You are innocent white,

Your purity is your might.

A harbinger of romance,

You set up a trance.

Delightful in bright yellow,

You are tender n' mellow.

Modest in your beauty,

You are a dizzy daisy.

Oozing with warmth n' pride,

Making the girl a lovely bride.

Cosmic is your existence,

Majestic is your opulence.

Who is all of this and more,

Elegantly giving a silent roar.

Timeless is your aura,

The world knows her as Rosa.

A symbol of love timeless,

Passions you evoke nameless.

So beautifully you bloom,

Driving away my vacuum.

A blue rose is an illusion,

So says the old folklore.

The myth today has fallen,

I found you, my English Rose.

~~~~

An English Rose

P.S. This is for You. Yesterday (7th Feb) was Rose Day. I hope, You - The English Rose, blooms stronger and brighter, with every passing day.

The Insatiable Mind

The mind is Insatiable. 

If it does not have something, it craves for it shamelessly. If someone else has that something, the need is excessively intense, characterized by envy.

It knows that jaws of jealousy are sharp. However, resisting jealousy, is a phrase that does not exist in it's dictionary.

It this is bad, the next is worse. Every time it gets something, it craves for something more. When will it be happy with what it possess? When will it learn to be satisfied?

An Insatiable Mind

Worse still, it does not know what exactly it wants. Since it does not know what it wants, it wants everything. Everything under the sun.

Isn't wanting everything unreasonable? Yot cannot get summer and winter, a rainy day and a sunny day at the same time. You cannot be old and young at the same time.

But when was the mind reasonable? Never. At best, it is Insatiable. 

The arguments continued unabated. Surprisingly, peaceful sleep took over, thanks to this poem.

~~~~

The mind is insatiable,

The thoughts make it bestial.

The desires make it brittle,

It goes on in a cycle.

Wanting everything,

Is getting caught in a web.

Everything is nothing,

The wishes need to ebb.

The insatiable mind is a devil,

Possessed with thoughts evil.

Wish its needs could be frugal,

Little imbalanced, more level.

Only if it could be thankful,

It would be a marvel.

For everything is trifle,

A fulfilled mind is a winner.

~~~~

Enchantress

An Enchantress

Someone asked her, "What makes you an enchantress?".

She replied, "There are things that don't meet the eye. Like oxygen. They define me." 

"And what are those?", was the next question.

And the answer is right below.

~~~~

Who am I?

What makes me fabled & wow?

A mystical girl that I am,

The secret would baffle thou.

For the world, 

I am a femme-fatale.

For once, believe me, 

I am just an ordinary gal.

Under the sky azure,

I am a blazing siren.

My principles are stronger,

Deeply rooted than a tree banyan.

In the ocean blue, 

I am a precious coral.

A dame with neat virtues,

I am modest n' rational.

I am a wire live,

Standing out is my art creative.

With my magic, I hold you captive,

Driving me are thoughts pensive.

Sparkling in bright yellow,

I am a darling Venus.

Around me is a bright halo,

Powered by my energy tireless.

My looks you may applaud,
For them I am thankful to God.
My art arouses awe,
A li'l secret, I ain't without a flaw.

My dreams are countless,

The least I am is selfless.

My merits you may extol,

I am thankful to my virtuous soul.

Beguiling you with my beauty,

I hold you breathless.

It is my mind classy,

It makes me an Enchantress.
~~~~

Enchantress

Her simplicity and her down to earth demeanor made her an Enchantress.

P.S. This is for You. Have I done justice to reflect what you are? I think No. What do you think?
